The best gifts for the New Year of paper

Days follow each other, and now it's December. Imperceptibly, houses are filled with New Year's mood, which means that we need to urgently start preparing gifts for relatives and friends. Therefore, we have prepared several affordable ideas for decorating gifts for the New Year with our own hands. Original gifts are easy to create by yourself from plain paper, cardboard and glue to please family and friends. Gifts can be made in the technique of quilling, scrapbooking or modular origami.

It is so nice to do something with your own hands, especially when children help you. Many of them simply adore sweets, candies, chocolates and other sweets. Therefore, a sweet bag with a bow will be a great idea for a gift, and adults in the shower probably remained children, loving sweets. To make such a tasty surprise, you will need:

• A4 paper, looks particularly unusual and bright;
• one sheet of red paper desirable flexible;
• some white, yellow and black paper;
• glue.

We fold the first paper sheet in half, but leave a small gap, we also fold it, and only after that we apply glue, connecting the ends of the paper. But this is only the beginning, you still need to form the bottom, so now choose one of the perpendicular sides and again bend 4-6 centimeters, straightening the sides to form triangles. Let's take both petals to the center, let go, go over the glue - the bottom is ready. It remains only to gently, bend along the ruler along the glued edges, after straightening the resulting shape. It turned out the usual paper bag.

But this is only half the work, because now the bow is still needed. Cut out of paper, preferably red (after all, we make Santa Claus) all the necessary elements, imitating the usual ribbon bow.

On the ends of the hanging ribbons we glue on white ovals, and then pre-cut boots made of black paper, creating the legs of the bow of Santa. The last decoration is a black stripe in the middle of the bow, and a yellow “buckle” is fastened on it, which strengthens the structure.

Now we fill our package with sweet gifts, glue it on top, having previously wrapped it, and glue the bow as an ornament.

In this gift, you must first make a deer. Yes, the one who is in the Santa Claus team. It is also a well-known and characteristic symbol of Christmas and New Year, which means that it is perfectly recognizable and appropriate in the gift. You can find the blank, or you can draw it yourself.

We will need a piece of paper again to form the bag. Glue the deer on the paper, which in the future will be a bag. At this stage, we advise you to make the horns of a deer out of cardboard and stick them out a little bit beyond the sheet of paper, making the whole structure more interesting. Next, cut out the belly of a deer, and on the back side we glue the film so that we have a window inside.

We form the package according to the scheme described above, in the “bag with a bow”, we get a new interesting gift package. Inside it you need to put candy or a gift, which can now be viewed through the belly of our deer. We do not seal the bag this time, but decorate it with pens made of ribbons, laces or similar strips of paper.

Snow and snowflakes are what we need in the New Year. Surely everyone remembers what huge snowflakes we made back in school and kindergarten. For their manufacture, we need:

• a lot of paper;
• scissors;
• thread.

The course of work is known to all, at first we form the petals of our snowflake. A square is cut out of paper and folded in half, followed by a smaller square, and folded again. You need to repeat several times so that the snowflake appears volumetric. The edges of such a snowflake should preferably be processed again with scissors to add patterns, and with them the unusualness of your hand-made article. Now we fasten 6 petals in one snowflake and we get a three-dimensional version, which is not a shame to give to a child.

The origami technique and applications are very well in tune with each other, so that they can be used to make extremely simple, but pleasant to the heart gifts. For such crafts are needed:

• red and green paper;
• glue;
• scissors;
• some warm words and wishes.

On the green sheets, you need to cut out 5 identical Christmas trees. They will form the main stand-up tree. Now we glue together all these parts and get a voluminous toy. At the very end of this Christmas tree we glue a star cut from paper.

An extremely simple idea to implement is a postcard in the form of a can. On the half of the sheet you need to draw the outline of the can or print it. Cut a window in the middle of the jar and glue it from the inside with a piece of transparent polyethylene. Next we fold the sheet in half with the turn and fix it with glue, as we did with the bags earlier. Bottom paper, too, just tuck and glue.

That's it, it remains to fill such a simple bag with sweets, and then to glue it on top as well as from the bottom, forming a simple, but original envelope with sweets You can prepare a lot of such sweet envelopes and give them to all your friends, classmates and colleagues. This will please them, and you yourself will spend little energy for this, but put your soul as a gift.

Anyone can make this card: both a child and an adult - because it combines simple origami techniques and applications. We will need:

• colored markers;
• glue;
• white sheet of paper;
• color paper.

We take a sheet of paper and roll it up with an uneven accordion, then cut the corner along an oblique line. After that, glue our blank to a strip of blue or blue paper. Then we take green paper and cut our Christmas trees with simple but various triangles. We paste them all over the postcard, not forgetting the filling of the white fragment, do not worry to get out of the borders.

After we take felt-tip pens and decorate the card in every way: draw snowflakes, draw Christmas trees, outline snowdrifts. So we got a pretty simple postcard option, the main thing is to approach its creation with soul and warmth. You can give it to anyone: a teacher or teacher, girlfriends or friends.

The most simple and original homemade products are obtained from paper harmonicas. Both the child and the adult can fold them. A colored Christmas tree made of several layers of paper is a vivid example. Each accordion in it is just neatly folded, and then glued together with a snak. If you want to further decorate your green herringbone from accordions, then carefully treat it with hairspray, and while the latter has not dried up, sprinkle with a design of confetti and sparkles. So you add to her festive mood and elegance that will delight your loved ones.

You can also make cute and beautiful New Year and Christmas angels. Starting with the blank, you need to outline the outlines of the head, clothing and characteristic angel wings.

You can not worry about violations of fire safety, because the flame in such candlesticks will be exclusively out of paper, and not real. Such candlesticks can be displayed in the clear, as a postcard, on a regular table for work or on a souvenir shelf. Cute candlesticks depicting snowmen are suitable for gifts for both adults and children. So, how to make such gifts?

• On a thin, light-transmitting piece of paper, draw a pattern inside or print to decorate the tummy of our snowman candlestick.
• From thick paper, make a stand-basis.
• Cut out the snowman and align with it a draft where your pattern is already depicted.
• Put the blank on a terry towel so that the draft with the pattern is on top.
• Now you can pierce the picture using a thin needle. Make sure that both the draft and the snowman are punctured and stuck in a towel. So work through the whole game.
• Cut out the arms and head of the snowman, then make everything else out of paper: a hat and scarf, a nose and a mouth. They can be decorated with colored pencils.
• Putting it all together, you get a great candlestick.

Making it glow is simple - stick on the back of the yellow paper. Such a top of cute and simple New Year presents made of paper can greatly facilitate your life, and also surprise all your friends and acquaintances with creativity and, most importantly, sincerity. This will especially brighten up the holiday. Remember that homemade souvenirs delight a lot more than the purchase.
